Bronchitis
Hi:
I've been conspicuously absent for awhile. I went to the NIFS show and contracted bronchitis -- in fact dozens of people who went to the show all have it. It's rather unpleasant. Then, I left town again this weekend for another business meeting. Flying with bronchitis is a horrible, horrible experience. Flying to Minnesota with bronchitis is just stupid. I was getting better and now I'm not. I have nobody to blame but me.
Three weekends in a row away from home. I'm tired of travelling and think I'm done until the end of the year. At least I hope I am.

I was thinking more about my previous 'friends' post. I want to edit it or delete it and start over. What are people's opinions of bloggers who change past posts? (I mean besides fixing broken URLs and typos). Comments appreciated.

Stumble It!

I know there are some people who believe that a blog post should never be edited once it has gone up; I am not one of them. I frequently make minor tweaks to something after I've posted it.
That having been said, one of the reasons I'm blog-posting my novel in National Novel Writing Month is to keep me from going back and editing passages I've already written. (Editing is anathema to NaNoWriMo, which is a one-month emphasis on writing quantity over quality.) I have gone back and made a few little tweaks to chapters of the novel I'd already posted (such as changing a day of the week when I realized my chronology was screwed up). But, for the most part, the fact that what I've written is already public, and my devoted readers have probably already seen it and moved on, keeps me from going back and doing any wholesale revision.
